Super Troopers (2001)

Directed by: Jay Chandrasekhar

Starring: Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske, Jay Chandrasekhar

I only saw this movie because Beerfest surprised me, and let’s be honest, both of these movies look pretty stupid. That being said, Super Troopers is pretty good. Not as good as Beerfest, but still, surprisingly good.

The basic idea is that there’s a group of state troopers that are competing with the local police force and are trying not to get shut down. In the mix is a massive drug smuggling conspiracy and… well, mostly it’s about the troopers acting like fools. It’s pretty good stuff.

This movie has a very classic Animal House-type rivalry in it, the kind of which you see in just about every stupid movie in the 70’s-90’s. These Broken Lizard guys definitely have their old, bad movie premises down pat. I guess now I have to see Club Dread, don’t I? Haven’t heard good things about that at all…
